The Glade 4.0

He's super chill and very friendly. He's also the most knowledgeable and technical instructor I've ever met. I really enjoy being a part of his association, mostly for the prevalent attitude of trying to learn good Jiu-Jitsu, and not necessarily just trying to win all the time by whatever means. Pretty much everyone is friendly, and the higher belts are always really good when it comes to the technical aspects. A personal anecdote: whenever I roll with people from other associations that are supposed to be equivalent to my experience level, it always seems to be really easy to catch them with the most basic of moves. Fundamentals are vital.

If you can get to a seminar of his, it would most definitely be worth it.

It took me a long time (mostly my ego) to learn how much this helps to make you stronger.

Everything I've read so far indicates that recovery periods are pretty much necessary. Also, I've made so many gains so far, it's rediculous. A break to get my school work in line was needed I think. (Seriously, I've gone from 150-155 lbs to 165-168 lbs since I've started lifting 3x a week ) Although, I think I'm the only person trying to put on bulk at my gym atm. Silly summer people

5/28-30 Weekend off, friend is getting married!
